The people of this vilhage are ci vil and polit. to strangers, and devo ted to public Worship on the Sab bath. -- The sun now rose usheting in the most beautiful morn, when we put off on our way to the next village on our rout, it is that season of the year when nature is most fascinating and beautiful to man. The soft anti gentle breezes, the pure cerulean translucence of the celestial vault, in which the sun new-burnished seemed suspended, whitening by excessive radiation the circular spaces around him, the song of bird, the bursting of every bud, the Voice of the plowman and the fresh furrowed fields, all seemed to pro claim that Winter with her dark days had retired to her native pro vinces of the North, and the earth was released to her wanted luxu riance and voluptuousness, and man and beast, to the active enjoyment cf existence. The fences which for months had been neglected, were now rapidly undergoing repair, the fruit trees were about being stripped of their superfluous branches, and every thing seemed taking on tin lorn; and attitude of exertion and production. Man every where ap peared consulting with nature, and arranging and organizing her power lor the means of his existence and enjoyment. To the seething bo som of the earth, moist and warm* d with the pure light streaming from the sun, be was carefully commit ting the seeds, whose product in th coming year is to spread his table with nourishing food, around which he is to behold the little creature s ■ ung from the affections of his, heart, and her, whose virgin blurb's »n I natural attraction of form and 3.. aliment first called forth those ai fections. Than in the fields not less activity and wxertiou appeared go ing ou in. the immediate vicinity of ch dwelling in the organization and of matters more in(i tnately domestic, which, though more humble, arc not less necessar. to general happiness and enjoyment. From the grave of’ winter there was suddenly a new resurrection of ac tion, noise, and bustle, winch spread like contagion from farm to tai tn, and were universal. 1 could but reflect on the great infb etice, which the sun exerts in modifying the activity and exertions of mortals, as he passes through the different points oi the zodiac lea ting on the career ol the seasons. ’LI ie ■js a Zodiacal year to the plantrt ' the cultivation of the earth, rou.-J (ho circle of which ho perpetua’ly moves.

In t ,e afternoon we passed some huge piles of granite of primitive forma tion, and arrived at CLINTON.

Some spoke in high praise of the acts and administration of the reign ing governor, others replied in vehe ment indignation. I was much pleas ed with the civility and suavity of the manners of a gentleman, who ap proached me, where I had set down a moment to rest, in the piazza of one of the Inns Drawing up his chair near me he address! d m« in a tone of voice above the usual standard with perfect good humour in his countenance.

The preordium was, delivered in a bold fluency of speech and the periods whirled ofl with strong emphasis. Throwing off the trammels of the schools, and the heavy hurgage of its axioms, I w;.-s not a little amused at his natural way of philosophising; he ascended, in a moment light and buoyant to first causes, leaving the way dogmat ically dear behind him, along which his way worn auditor was carried ■ It was plea ant enough after a day « ride, unusually worn for the season, to be so suddenly hoisted up in the ba'b'on of his arguments into th ' cool region ofthe cloud’s the nativi ty of electricity.

'.V. 44-AhfkNbi*. D ShtT. 6?—tds Statesman MONDAY APRIL 16, 1827. The prospect of a new President. — As the time draws near far the election of a president ofthe United States, the popularity of Gener al Jackson increases. Accounts from all parts of ti.e Union attest Use fact that a gener al dissatisf iction exists as to the manner by which Mr. Adams obtained the Presidential Chair. The election of a President by Con gress in any event is and we hope ever v.iii be unpopular; the result cf the last election has proved that tiie Constitution in that respect is defective. The Electors who voted for Gen eral Jackson in the last election represented many thousands more of our fellow-citizens than did those who voted for Mr. Adams, yet Mr. Adams was made president, and in a manner pointed out by the constitution, therc j fore we say the constitution needs aniend i merit, for as it now is, have al- I lowed the few to rule the many. i The popularity of General Jackson rests j on a solid foundation which cannot easily be • shaken; iiis intrin-ic worth, Ids n itive talents, land the super-cininai.t st rvjccs which he'b.as rendered bis country, poiut him or.t as a man deserving the highc"'. honors a ;rce people can bestow. Tt has been sari that “Republics an ungrateful,” —if their gratitude is slow, it is sure. Tiie Revolutionary S<ddiers of our re public waited long for tiie gratitude ol our country,—they now enjoy a pension for life. — More than forty years passed away before the gratitude of our country was bestowed or her benefactor La Fwjettt. Twelve years since General Jackson by a masterly effort saved the fairest portion of our country from disgr- co. rapine and blood. It required a Jackson v. .th only a handful of untaught Miiiri". to destrov urilish ,lr:mf' Tiie gratitude of our Republic awaits the Hero. The Coal'tim. — 'Ve in-an not the c.oaii'im. of Mr. Adams and Mr. Clay, but the coalition of a lew desperate, Ambitious men, in d.c jn 'he South ai d Wes’, a Lose object appears ;<> be a division ofthe Slat-s. Evidane of such a coai.tion exists, an t is increasing dai ly; and in the train of dm ‘/ending cn*,’ are many honest but deluded men, who re effi cient in bolstering them up i:. .heir unholy work. .More, evidence anon— we shall watch t ieir movements. —It. may require even the abilities and energy of Jaclsun to defea’ their designs. — '‘Greek Benefit."
